Show HN: Pulse – the wearable for n=1 habit experiments

Most wearables collect data and hand you a dashboard.

Pulse goes a step further: it helps you run experiments with your own habits, and actually shows you what makes a difference.

No subscriptions. No locked features. Just tools to test what improves your sleep, focus, or energy.

Hey HN, I’m Mani - Co-Founder & CTO @ Pulse.

This started from my own burnout trying to optimize performance. I tracked everything, changed habits constantly, got a bunch of wearables, but could never figure out what was working vs wasn't.

Most devices just give you a score based on some generic/population model and leave you to figure it out. They treat everyone like an average.

With Pulse, we wanted to build something different -- a way to actually test what works for your body in real life.

Happy to answer questions about the tech, hardware, or what it took to get from idea to (almost) shipping

This sounds super interesting! Dumb question maybe, but how is this different from just using an Oura ring or a WHOOP + journaling?

Like is the value more in how you visualize the data, or is it actually doing something different behind the scenes?

I've been waiting for this launch for so long, congrats to the team on launching! This will not be your average wearable. The team behind it is so motivated and experienced that it is hard to comprehend what they cook... But if you can see the vision, you are in.

This is a game-changer! Most wearables just tracks, Pulse empowers! Love that it encourages self experimentation to actually learn what works for you. And the no subscription model??? Huge respect to the team!

“The blog post makes it sound like a nice step beyond generic fitness bands. How flexible is the API or data access for custom experiments?”
